hi,
i have been on a low carb,low fat ,high protien diet.for the first two months i practically starved myself as i disn't really know how to diet propperly.basially was eating rediculousely low carbs,no efa's,but high protien.

recently i have introduced EFA's which i take 3 times a day in pill form(omega 3+6+9)

i have introduced more carbs such as oatmeal,potatoes,fruit,milk.

also i have introduced 2-3 portions of veggies a day.

ok that was a bit long winded the real problem at the moment is that where i have left these essentials out of the diet i am getting a burning sensation in my stomach all day and also chest pains.my body has obviousely reacted to the diet what is the best thing to get the body back to usual,high carbs,sugar,fats?.

i would be grateful for some advice

cheers

that's interesting

what exactly are you eating now (how and when)
Are you taking ALA and any other sups?

 

[ronmolina]

Your body may be adjusting to the fiber. If your having alot of gas that may be it. That may take a week or two to go away.

basically i am looking to stay cut all year round is there any advice you can give me on a healthy all year diet

 

[Fyre]

Did you slowly introduce everything back in? Or did you just jump right in...lol If you were eating low carb for a longer period of time and you rushed right into putting the regular foods back in your body, you body might just be saying to slow down a bit.
The chest pains are certainly not good and I would definitely suggest if they persist, to go see your doctor.
I'm also curious to know if you are taking any supplements that might cause the burning in the stomach.
Perhaps for us to be of more help to you, you could jot us down a typical eating plan for yourself in a day and we'll make some adjustments where need be.

i was a bit worried about ketoacidosis so i started wacking all the sugers and carbs back in yesterday tho.chest pains have relented a bit

my typical day
7:30 omega 3-6-9 pill(recent addition)
multi vit
ginko biloba extract (recent addition)

8:00 oatmeal or cereal(skimmed milk)
100g chicken fillets or alternatively tuna

10:00 100g chicken fillets low fat pancakes(recent addition for extra carbs)
12:30 100g chicken fillets, jacket potato broccoli cauliflower carrots(125g)
3:30 pre workout carbs cereal and apple,protien shake
ginseng pill (recent addition? no particular reason heard it was good to take before workout for a wake up)

4:30 work out 8-8 new training routine
15 mins cardio
6:00 powerade
125g veggies 100g tuna

8:00 protien shake with glutamine

i think i may need to add some more carbs like i say i am looking to do this all year round so i need not to starve myself

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

i would add the carbs into your diet slowly
maybe you've kinda shocked your system

You say the chet pains are not as bad, that's a good sign
Also when you re introduce carbs into your diet, try to make sure you're getting good qquality carbs, imagine you've been on a low carb diet and you eat any carb in site, think of how whacked your blood sugar will be like and what that will do to you

 

[brizo]

what sort of carbs should i eat throughout the day

 

[Muay Thai Guy]

IMo ur best bet would be to stick to unrefined natural stuff as possible. Try to eat carbs that are low or moderately low on the GI (except post workout, the powerade is a decent idea i think but in england the ready made stuff has some dodgy ingredients)

Good choices are

beans
lentils
pulses
vegetables like Brocolli, spinach etc
Yams
Sweet potatos
Oats

Just my £0.02 , might be wrong though

I had the same thing happen. I dieted down last summer and I cut out all carbs for a week. When I started eating them again my body was in shock and I had all sorts of stomach issues.
